This restaurant was just next door to our resort. This was a night Tuesday and we were all leaving Samui on the Thursday. So this was our last blast together as Wednesday would be any early night due to us all travelling the next day. Emma and Criag had moved to a hotel in Chong Mon - not our resort but another 5-star - so we had met up on our balcony in the afternoon for a few wee pre-dinner goodbye drink. We had a beer but it wouldn't have been culturally appropriate if we didn't have Sangsom. Sangsom in a Thai whiskey/rum which, when 2 of you order it in a bar, you order a sangsom set - a half bottle of whiskey, half litre of soda, half litre of coke and a big bucket of ice. Or you can just have the whole lot poured into a metal bucket and drink it through 2 straws. Our original plan was that, after a beer or 2, Emma and Craig would go back to their hotel, get freshened up and we would meet up for dinner. A bottle of sangsom later (well, there was 4 of us and not 2) and the plans went a bit petong. Hence we are all still in our beachwear in the photo. At least Emma and I had a shower at my place before putting our dirty beachwear back on again! We had a great meal and, with the sangsom talking, made plans to meet up the next day and go to one of the tourist attractions, football golf - kicking a football around an 18 hole golf course where the holes are bigger to accommodate the football, and all in the blazing sun after a night of sangsom and beer! Needless to say we didn't make it.
The restaurant was well into presentation when serving rice
Emma has obviously binned the pre-holiday diet. Most of this food was hers!
A firework display from a hotel further down the beach completed the evening.
